  • pmacct & Redis: pmacct daemons can now connect to a Redis cache. The main use-case currenly covered is: registering every stable daemon component in a table so to have, when running a cluster comprising several daemons / components, an olistic view of what is currently running and where; shall a component stop running or crash it will disappear from the inventory.
  • BMP daemon: as part of the IETF 107 vHackaton, preliminar support for draft-xu-grow-bmp-route-policy-attr-trace and draft-lucente- grow-bmp-tlv-ebit was introduced. Also added support for Peer Distinguisher field in the BMP Per-Peer Header.
  • BMP daemon: added support for reading from savefiles in libpcap format (pcap_savefile, pcap_savefile_delay, pcap_savefile_replay, pcap_filter) as an alternative to the use of bmp_play.py.
  • BMP daemon: re-worked, improved and generalized support for TLVs at the end of BMP messages. In this context, unknown Stats data is handled as a generic TLV.
  • BMP daemon: added SO_KEEPALIVE TCP socket option (ie. to keep the sessions alive via a firewall / NAT kind of device). Thanks to Jared Mauch ( @jaredmauch ) for his patch.
  • nfacctd, nfprobe plugin: added usec timestamp resolution to IPFIX collector and export via IEs [#154], [#155]. For export, this can be configured via the new nfprobe_tstamp_usec knob.
  • nfacctd: new nfacctd_templates_receiver and nfacctd_templates_port config directives allow respectively to specify a destination where to copy NetFlow v9/IPFIX templates to and a port where to listen for templates from. If nfacctd_templates_receiver points to a replicator and the replicator exports to nfacctd_templates_port of a set of collectors then, for example, it gets possible to share templates among collectors in a cluster for the purpose of seamless scale-out.
  • pmtelemetryd: in addition to existing TCP, UDP and ZeroMQ inputs, the daemon can now read Streaming Telemetry data in JSON format from a Kafka broker (telemetry_daemon_kafka_* config knobs).
  • pmgrpcd.py: Use of multiple processes for the Kafka Avro exporter to leverage the potential of multi-core/processors architectures. Code is from Raphael P. Barazzutti ( @rbarazzutti ).
  • pmgrpcd.py: added -F / --no-flatten command-line option to disable object flattening (default true for backward compatibility); also export to a Kafka broker for (flattened) JSON objects was added (in addition to existing export to ZeroMQ).
  • nDPI: introduced support for nDPI 3.2 and dropped support for all earlier versions of the library due to changes to the API.
  • Docker: embraced the technology for CI purposes; added a docker/ directory in the file distribution where Dockerfile and scripts to build pmacct and dependencies are shared. Thanks to Claudio Ortega ( @claudio-ortega ) for contributing his excellent work in the area.
